Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

My wee brother Lee passed away 23rd May 2026 after a 2yr battle with bowel cancer. He was only 53yrs old and my best friend. Lee's funeral was 16th June, i miss him so much and cry every night. I can't bare the thought that i'm never going to see him again I'm so sad.
